Arbat Street

Why go

The pedestrian street is lined with historic façades, side lanes and monuments tied to Moscow's literary life. At Arbat Street, that feature establishes the main reason to stop. The greatest value comes from leaving the souvenir-heavy main strip for the quieter lanes around it. This second observation changes the visit by connecting Arbat Street to street life and history; it deserves attention before you leave Arbat Street.
